Does the Amazon Kindle engrave a revolution contained by technology and society?
with the death of printed paper surely not too far astern, is "the future here"?!
Answers:
Amazon Kindle will not succeed. There have been many attempts so far from other manufacturers such as Sony and they enjoy all missed the main point behind the device: that it have to be open and multi-functional. Have a look at http://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/E-book_R… for a comparison between a few of these. They are all nice as a gadget but they try to lock you down or don't give you satisfactory power over your own digital content. They just want to make money out of you like a mobile phone.
For example Kindle doesn't support PDF!! That's shocking to me. If I am going to clear several hundred dollars for a device that only shows a few non-illustrated books, then I haven't really moved on from where I am.
Its pretty simple really. We want a device explicitly cheaper than a laptop (otherwise I will just buy a laptop or micro-PC which does so much more). We want this device to support main book formats such as PDF, Microsoft ebook (lit), web browsing (wiki), word (most business documents) and similes. The device should also be small, so I don't have to think about whether I should pilfer it with me somewhere else. A good solution probably needs flexible displays.
Someone should deliver this device and later we can watch it expand to other tasks. Bare minimum is extensibility and this hasn't happened yet. It will come, but I am afraid Kindle is not it. Source(s): http://www.futureconverged.com
no defintely not, just another useless scheme, and reading never "go away" no one is going to use this as a "book" but more like what we do online, for research only
I think the kindle marks something clean, but not the definite end of paper. I newly think it will start a wave of electronic reading, but the elimination of article completely isn't happening anytime soon.
i really dont know what you are conversation about so i am gonna guess no
